Man Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Distribution

Daniel Carrier, formerly of the Danielson section of Killingly, waived his right to indictment Wednesday and will be sentenced on one count of receipt and distribution of child pornography in August, a release from acting U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly said.

Carrier was arrested on March 7 after a forensic search of his computer by law enforcement officers revealed more than 850 images and 187 videos of child pornography, Daly said.

He was released on bail and is living with family members in Rhode Island, Daly said.

Carrier faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
